All My Yesterdays
Copperpot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't believe you left me like you did.
Everything I did and every word I said, it was all wasted, every last breath.
Nothing meant anything. The time was ill spent.
But I'm moving on now.
I've realized the truth.
You aren't the only one for me, it's time for someone new.
Look me in the eyes and tell me you'll throw this all away.
Now I'm looking back on all my yesterdays.
So live your life in your own little world.
Out across the country, the valley of dysfunction.
One day you'll realize what you have done, how much you hurt me.
You were emotionless, numb.
We were friends before anything else.
You treat me like a foe.




You wouldn't even listen when I needed someone so.
Say these words and then I'll go.
